DENTON, Texas - Certain positions within programs can easily be overlooked or taken for granted. In some cases, that distinction falls on kickers. North Texas has one of the greatest the program has ever had, and one of the best in the country in senior Trevor Moore. The Edmond native is a perfect 99-for-99 on extra points, and holds the school record for field goal percentage (75.0%) through the first three years of his career.

In total, Moore sits atop seven statistical categories in school history heading into his final season in Denton. In addition to field goal percentage in a single season as well as career and most consecutive extra points made, Moore also is the leader in extra point percentage in a single season as well as career (100%), extra points made in a single game (11 against Nicholls in 2014) and field goals made in a single game (five against SMU in 2014).

"I've always been grateful for the success that I've had so far since I've been here at North Texas," Moore said. "I wouldn't be able to do it without the trust from my teammates and the coaches. Leading in seven categories is a great honor and really means a lot to me as an individual, but I wouldn't have these honors if it wasn't for the guys around me pushing me every day to be better. I know my position can help the team win games and that's what it is really all about, helping the team any way that I can."

Having a reliable kicker has probably been the most underrated improvement in this program in the last decade. 

Agreed, much better then when i was in school during the dodge years. Anyone remember Jeremy Knott so good?

We have been blessed with a number of great kickers through the years, Bazaldua, Ball, Chapman, Khoury, etc..., so to lead in 7 catagories says something.  My one wish would be for a little stronger leg, but he has been great his entire career.

Knott was a disappointment considering he was a JUCO All American.

Unfortunately kickers don't get much notice unless they miss some kicks .. especially important ones... We have a good one .... hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

I try to avoid mentioning him, particularly with the moniker Jeremy Knott Good. It's difficult for me to fault a kid for going out for the team.  I put it squarely on Dodge's shoulders for taking him on and pretty much having total and utter disregard for special teams and not bothering to develop him.

Was Knott the kicker during that infamous FIU thriller* that went through 49 overtimes and a morning breakfast?

*and by 'thriller' I mean the ladies in our party had time to leave, go eat dinner, return and question "Oh God y'all are really still here?"

No.  That was before Knott's time.

Makes me wonder when the NCAA will adopt the NFL's new extra point distance. I feel it's been a success for the NFL and has added some drama to the games.  

NCAA is too busy NOT giving penalties to and reviewing player waivers approvals for Power 5 schools to deal with such.

If Morris had been our kicker, he'd have been 100 for 99.

I'm gonna say never. I don't have the stats in front of me, but as a whole, NCAA kickers are nowhere near as accurate as the guys in the NFL. There's honestly not enough guys you can count on to make 30-yd field goals consistently. People would lose their shit.

He needs to add some leg strength to be really considered. To many kicks seem to float at times, but it could be just selective memory from me. 

Will help having an offense that can move the ball as well.

I hope so because I wish that for all of our players, but being objective, he needs to increase his leg strength and accuracy on field goals.

Yeah.   Moore is accurate from less than 30yds.   Put him out there @ 45+ yds and he is not reliable.

This is so true..Alabama hasn't had a decent kicker in years.  That baffles me.  If you are a "GOOD" kicker, why wouldn't you go to a team that competes for a NC every year?  That is Sabans weakness.....  Kickers can win or lose at least 1 game per year.....

I think that's the point though. To get more teams thinking about going for two rather than their kicker shank a 32 yd extra point.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
